Konnichiwa! It is Tuesday morning, well... more like Monday night. Anyway, I have to apologize for the completely random TamaxHaru moment. I kinda figured that with him worrying about her safety while she went to check out the hospital, he would kiss her for her safe return. If that part just kinda seemed too out of the blue I'm sorry I can't word all my ideas the way they're supposed to be lately. I blame my tiredness and school…

Again there will be cursing… um yeah… I think I might be in a bad mood this week.

Chapter 24: Alicia's Comeback

Aly sat up in her bed and remembered that she used to be stronger than she was, not physically but mentally. Her greatest weakness was losing both Kaoru and her brother. She realized that if Kaoru was willing to do anything to get her back, then there was no point for her to do what she had done. She looked around trying to figure out a plan to get out of that room and away from both Michael and her grandfather. She had no idea what to do. Hani and Mori couldn't make any moves because her grandfather was there.

"Kaoru did all of you come?" asked Aly, who was actually asking if they had Kyoya's men with them.

Kaoru understood her question immediately. "Yeah, all of us came to see you."

"Where's Kyoya-senpai?" She was really asking why the police hadn't gone in to help her.

"Well, I think he's taking care of something that he needs to do first. Eve said that he was gonna be a little delayed."

"Ah, I see,"

"So, wait, is Eve attending Ouran now?"

"Yeah, she's even in our class."

"That's amazing," she said as tried to get up quickly with excitement. Her grandfather grabbed her wrist.

"Sit down!"

"No, I don't want to! I've been sitting down since yesterday and I wasn't even allowed to leave the room!"

"Why the hell is security taking so long to get here?" her grandfather said to himself.

"Let go of me!" Aly shouted as tried to pull and twist her arm out of his grasp. "If you won't let go then I have no choice."

Aly grabbed her grandfather's wrist with both hands and pulled his arm down forcefully causing him to flip over her. She was about to make her way toward Kaoru when she felt another hand squeezing her wrist tightly. She flinched as the grasp got tighter.

"Let go you asshole! I said let go of me you mother fucker!" she was trying to free herself but his grip was too tight. He had even twisted her arm behind her so she wouldn't flip him too.

"I don't think so," he smirked as he looked at Kaoru's angry face. (Kaoru's angry face= :-[ lol). "You have to pay for hurting your poor grandfather. What you did was very disrespectful."

"Like you know anything about respect," said Aly as she tried swinging her leg backwards in an effort to either kick him in the shin or crotch.

"I'm tired of watching all this. Standing and doing nothing is pointless," said Kaoru. The light clicking of his shoes could be heard as he stepped toward Aly and Michael. "I'm only gonna ask once and I'm gonna ask you politely. Will you please let Aly go?"

"Pfft, you think just because you ask nicely that I'm actually gonna be stupid enough to just let this girl go?" Michael laughed at Kaoru.

"Suit yourself," said Kaoru as he grabbed onto Michaels wrist tightly. He was holding on so tight that it forced Michael's grip on Aly loosen.

Aly freed herself and ran toward Hani and Mori where she knew she'd be safe. Hani hugged Aly happily and as he did so he looked more mature than usual. Mori pat her on the head.

"Aly-chan, we're glad you're back. We were very worried. You should probably go in the hallway and wait with Tama-chan and Hika-chan.

"Nii-chan didn't come did he?" she said a little disappointedly.

"No, I think he was busy today."

"Too busy to come help me? No, I think he was just too furious at Kaoru. When I get home he probably won't let me out of his sight ever again."

"Aly, you shouldn't worry about something like that right now. You should be happy that we all came for you," said Hani.

"I am really. I'm even happy that Kaoru is doing this to protect me," she said as she watched Kaoru punched Michael and knocked him down. "He's even gone as far as to fight someone, but I wish there was something I could do for him. My grandfather, he's planning on destroying the Hitachiin's reputation you know and I want to try to stop that from happening since I'm the one that was involved even if it was without my knowing I now know that I am responsible."

"Aly, stop acting like that it wasn't your fault. You were used and that's that don't worry about my reputation. You mean a lot more to me than that. Besides if you want to fix it just hold a press conference and tell the press that your grandfather misunderstood everything. Although, I don't care if you do that or not," said Kaoru who had overheard her.

"I'm sorry, Kaoru. You're right, I have to stop acting so pathetic," said Aly.

"You can handle this from here, senpai," Kaoru said to Hani and he struck on last blow to Michael. "Oh, never mind, he passed out."

Aly ran to Kaoru. She gently grabbed his arm and examined his bruised fists. "You know, this is gonna end up hurting a lot tomorrow," she told him.

"Yeah, but it was definitely worth it. Besides it's a good thing we're in a hospital."

"What do we do about him?" Aly pointed to her grandfather.

"Nothing for now because we can't lay a finger on him. Although Kyoya-senpai is looking for a way to put a more permanent end to him since he doesn't ever seem to give up on you."

Aly laughed. "The way you said that made it sound as if Kyoya-senpai was gonna kill him."

"If you won't do what I say then, I guess I'll have to get your brother to cooperate and do what I say," said Aly's grandfather.

"As if you could get Angel to do what you say. You may not have noticed it, but he's a bit more rebellious than I am."

"Or so you think," he smirked.

"You leave him out of this! He has a lot to do as it is, so don't make it worse. If you ever come near my brother I'll…"

"It seems I've made it here on time," a sly voice echoed from the hallway.

"Kyoya…" said Aly happily.

He leered at her and she cowered. He had every right to be mad at her. "Alicia, you will be reprimanded for this little incident."

Alicia gulped and then let out a small smile. "That's fine. It wouldn't be right if I weren't punished by our dear mother." She teased and he smiled.

"Anyway, it seems I wasn't able to find what I was looking for, as of yet, but we will be taking you back with us."

"Let's go, Aly. Kyoya senpai will handle the rest," Kaoru said leading her out of the room.

As they walked out of the room Aly lowered her head so that her hair covered her eyes.

"Kaoru, I'm really sorry about everything, I was being stupid. I just didn't want them to hurt you, but I ended up doing that instead. I lied to you and then I just went off with them. I promise I won't go without a fight next time. I'll fight them till the end," she said as her voice quivered.

"My precious little sister, are you all right?" asked Tamaki. "Did they hurt you? You're crying!"

"I'm alright," she sniffled.

"Eve, you're still playing video games?" she said as she spotted the DS in Eve's pocket.

"That's the reason I came to Japan. I wanted to play Pokemon Gold Heart and since it's only available here I came here (before US release)."

"I see. What are you doing with these guys anyway."

"Well, I met them at an amusement park on Saturday, and found out that you were in trouble yesterday so I came along to help."

"Thanks you guys. Hikaru, I'm glad you're here too."

"It's no big deal."

"Eve, shouldn't you get out of this hallway isn't it too bright for you in here?"

"Nope, Hikaru gave me his glasses," smiled Eve.

"Willingly?"

"Where would the fun be if he just handed them over when I asked? I had to take them from him by force."

"It doesn't look like he put up much of a fight," she laughed. "Wait a minute, if all you are in here then who's with Haruhi?

Tamaki quickly got up and dashed for the door. He saw Haruhi standing outside surrounded between two of Kyoya's police. Eve, Hikaru, Kaoru, and Aly were close behind.

"Aly, I'm glad you're ok," she said not even glancing at Tamaki.

"Thanks for the get well card Haruhi," said Aly.

"Haruhi, are you mad at me? Haruhi?" cried Tamaki.

"Senpai, you shouldn't do things without thinking. Did you think you could do that without me scolding you afterward! It was embarrassing! In front of everyone too! Next time think before you do it."

"Haruhi's mad at me again."

"What exactly happened while I was gone?"

"Tamaki kissed her."

"Wah, really? That's great! It's about time. Good for you, Niisama!" Aly said excitedly.

"Ok, now it's time for us to get you out of here," said Eve.

"Where are you guys gonna take me?" asked Aly. "I know I can't go home because he would find me too easily. So, can I go with you, Kaoru?"

"Our house is the second place he would look for you, Aly."

"You'll be staying at my house," said Eve.

"I'm the only person that doesn't stick out as much. Besides no one knows where I live."

Aly gave Kaoru a pleading gaze.

"Sorry, Aly, but you're going to have to stay with her. Don't worry; I'll go see you every day."

"Okay, then, but who's going to tell Angel that I'm away from Esteban."

"You can call him if you want, but you can't tell him where you're at. Or I can go tell him myself."

"We should go my car is waiting," said Eve.

"Okay," sighed Aly.

Kaoru gently patted her head. "I'll go see you tomorrow, ok?"

"'Kay," she hugged him.

Kaoru walked her to a small silver car with dark tinted windows. He opened the back door for her. Aly slid into the back seat and Kaoru closed the door with a light slam. Even though he would much rather prefer to keep Aly with him, these measures had to be taken to keep her safe. The car pulled out and disappeared from vision.

Kyoya walked out of the building with Michael in tow. The police that we're waiting for his return quickly surrounded Michael and arrested him. There was no way Michael was going to be released this time because Aly's grandfather had no use for him anymore as he was beaten by the host club twice.

Um… Okay I finally finished this chapter, yay! It took me forever to think about what I wanted to happen or whether I wanted to end it soon or not. Hahaha, next chapter will probably be some Eve and Aly bonding. Oh and Happy 4th of July if you're celebrating it!

R&R if I'm rushing things a bit I'm sorry just be sure to kick me in the shins or review and tell me to slow down... fufufufu I know I'm more than deserving of it cuz one of you tells me all the time its just that I'm very impatient. I'll really really try to slow down next chapter I swear!
